Ye Mo and Li Xuebin chatted for a long time, then hung up the phone and almost jumped up in excitement.
"Having many children means blessings, so many children means blessings..." Ye Mo grinned.
The vast majority of Chinese people do not believe in ghosts and gods, but during the Chinese New Year, almost all temples are overcrowded.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first incense stick of some famous temples can easily cost hundreds of thousands or even millions. For example, at Baofu Temple, the first incense stick the year before last was said to be 2.29 million yuan. I heard that the first stick of incense cost 2.29 million yuan. I heard that the price of two sticks of incense and three sticks of incense
It's hundreds of thousands.
Ye Mo has never paid attention to these, and he doesn't know if there is any moisture in them. Moreover, the price was a few years ago.
To tell the truth, does the rich man wearing incense really believe in Buddhism and the existence of Bodhisattvas?
Probably don't believe it.
Spending this money is just to get a good fortune.
Another example is the winter catch in Chagan Lake. Ye Mo has also read related reports... I don’t know the specific year. It is said that the first fish caught in the winter in Chagan Lake sold for a sky-high price of 2.966666 yuan.
Nearly three million. This is also to seek good luck...
For those who are truly wealthy, a few million...is nothing at all.
Just like Ye Mo now, he has changed a lot after he became rich.
When I was working in Shenzhen, I was so frugal that I couldn't bear to buy more clothes all year round. But now, a ham costing several thousand yuan can be bought without blinking an eye.
Nowadays, when you go out to eat, you can spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on a meal without feeling distressed.
Last year, Ye Mo planted the first batch of super large watermelons, and Zhang Yuanqiao paid a high price to harvest them... and then ordered another batch. Dozens of watermelons were sold for more than 1.7 million yuan.
Zhang Yuanqiao bought those watermelons, mainly for weddings and full-moon wine.
The meaning of watermelon is to have many children and good fortune.
This meaning is so good.
Previously, the price of each 260-300 kilogram watermelon was as high as 50,000 yuan.
A watermelon weighing more than 300 kilograms even reaches 100,000 yuan.
Before, I didn't know that watermelon means more children and more blessings. Ye Mo was still thinking about who would buy such an expensive watermelon.
Now I know, it turned out to be a good lottery.
When it comes to getting lucky, naturally the rarer...the better. A large watermelon weighing more than a hundred kilograms is not particularly rare, and you can still find it if you put some effort into it. But watermelons weighing more than two hundred kilograms are very rare...
...Or maybe there is no other place except Ye Mo.
Some people spend hundreds of thousands, or even millions, to burn incense on their heads... Then naturally, there are also people who spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even more to get a good lucky charm at their wedding.
Ye Mo looked at the beautiful big watermelon here and smiled.
Tang Xun and Ye Zhi were sitting in the greenhouse, smoking cigarettes and drinking tea: "What's going on? I'm smiling crookedly." Tang Xun said.
"I thought of something happy." Ye Mo would not say that he was going to get rich again, lest they would be envious again.
Ye Zhi threw a cigarette to Ye Mo and said, "When can you finish your work here? We are still waiting for the warehouse over there..."
"It's very early." Ye Mo said, "We'll talk about your affairs after our side is finished."
Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo and said, "Have you bought all the fertilizers?"
"We have bought everything. Organic fertilizer, compound fertilizer, urea, foliar fertilizer, etc., all are available," Ye Mo said.
"Don't you have a lot of money?"
"It's so tight." Ye Mo said, "You don't have any money?"
"I still have some money on hand for family expenses," Tang Xun said.
"Want to borrow money?" Ye Mo said.
"No..." Tang Xun said: "Well, my father heard your father-in-law say that you are also very tight. If you are really short of money, I will think of a way to collect money for fertilizers, warehouses and seedlings.
come out."
"I have a big funding gap. What you have is just a drop in the bucket for me... It doesn't matter." Ye Mo said with a smile: "At the worst, I can ask Li Xuebin to prepay the deposit for future fruits." They didn't.
I knew that Ye Mo had borrowed 7 million from Li Xuebin.
"I'm also very nervous. The 20 acres of greenhouses have completely emptied the family's resources. Fertilizer, warehouses and seedlings... If the situation is good, I can give it to you in October. Or after the greenhouse starts producing..." Ye
Zhi said.
"It's okay." Ye Mo waved his hand: "You guys tied me up at the beginning of the year (to support my friends). Now, I will tie up for you too..."
Tang Xun and Ye Zhi smiled: "Thank you."
"You two came here just for this?"
Tang Xun smiled and nodded: "Anyway, we feel a little embarrassed."
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Ye Mo said with a smile: "Managing a 20-acre greenhouse is not an easy job. How to arrange the management progress, you have to make preparations in advance... When the greenhouse starts to grow seedlings, I will
The side is probably not available, so I can’t spare anyone to help you.”
"I know, I know." Ye Zhi said.
"I know." Tang Xun said: "Our two families, plus Chen Chen's family, Uncle Niu's family... and then when we are busy, we will hire some more workers. The total is only about a hundred acres of greenhouses, which should be able to manage
come over."
"Isn't it easier for you to manage a greenhouse than to lay down a sweet potato? You should be able to keep busy..." Ye Zhiye said.
"Can the density of the greenhouse be the same as the density of the sweet potatoes?" Ye Mo said.
"Let's see then. Uncle Niu and the others are here, so it's easy to invite people."
"Yes." Ye Mo nodded and said with a smile: "I have purchased all the fertilizers. I will just load them with as much fertilizer as I need in the future. I will keep the accounts for you and settle the accounts after you make money."
"Okay." Tang Xun chuckled twice: "By the way, you have made a lot of money this year. Why are you still tight on funds... How much did you spend on that villa?"
"that is……"
Ye Mo spread out his hands: "I told you, I made a lot of money this year. But I don't know how I spent the money."
It was almost noon. Ye Mo and Tang Xun chatted for a while. They were about to go back, and Ye Mo also returned home.
Ye Mo just remembered that he sold a batch of super large watermelons in May for 1.76 million yuan. This amount was not written in the ledger...
I took out my mobile phone, opened the bank text messages, and wrote down the income one by one again.
"The income from a crop of melons sold in April was 13.16 million yuan, not 11.63 million yuan." Ye Mo opened his notebook and found the 11.63 million yuan.
11.63 million yuan is the remaining balance in the account after selling a crop of melons.
In the previous notebook, the super big watermelon in the greenhouse was not written down. The income was 1.76 million yuan...
The accounts before May are easy to calculate.
In other words, a total of 1.53 million yuan was spent in April, 600,000 yuan was withdrawn from the bank (the wages of Ye Zhi, Chen Chen, and Tang Xun’s family), and another several hundred thousand was spent on buying a car for dad. Last year’s water
Fees, buying crayfish feed, daily expenses, etc.
Ye Mo recalculated the accounts and found that this year's income should be 22.07 million yuan.
"We're settling accounts again." Lin Xiaomian brought Ye Mo a cup of tea.
"Yes." Ye Mo nodded: "I suddenly remembered that the super large watermelon sold at the end of April was worth 1.76 million yuan, but this amount was not recorded in the ledger."
Ye Mo's account book is very messy, and he just writes down something when he thinks about it.
There were also a lot of expenses in May and June. However, all of them were used for the purchase of production equipment.
"This year's income is 22 million yuan?" Lin Xiaomian looked at the data re-recorded by Ye Mo's notebook and asked: "Where has so much money been spent? You also borrowed 7 million yuan from Boss Li, so together
That’s 29 million yuan. How much money is left in the account now?”
Ye Mo calculated all the bank's account records and found out that the income was indeed 22.07 million yuan.
Big expenditures include building roads, building houses, greenhouses...
The actual expenditure for road construction was 3.3 million yuan. The previous calculation was 3.1 million yuan... There were also two small transfers that were not recorded.
The expenditure for building a house was 3.8 million yuan. However, before hiring an excavator, the money was transferred separately.
Several medium-sized excavators have been working here for more than half a month, as well as supporting transport trucks, which cost hundreds of thousands in total.
For the greenhouse, the steel frame of the 200-acre greenhouse costs 6.98 million yuan. This is only the cost of the steel frame of the greenhouse...the expenses for roads, drainage channels, etc. in the greenhouse area have not been calculated yet.
The bigger expenses include purchases in May.
In May, Ye Mo bought two crushers. One is dedicated to crushing wood, and the other is dedicated to crushing coconut leaves. The two machines are relatively large and expensive. The prefabricated transformers also cost 20 yuan.
Tens of thousands... Two transformers were purchased and one was installed at the water pumping station.
Matched with the crusher is a loader.
The total expenditure is 1.75 million yuan.
In May, I also bought a dozen plastic water towers. This time I bought a 50-ton capacity. The total cost of installing a dozen water towers is more than 800,000 yuan.
In May and June, Ye Mo also purchased tractors, three off-road dump trucks, tractor trailers, pruners, lawn trimmers and other tools for production.
There are even more miscellaneous expenses. Crayfish feed, odds and ends, etc.
Before doing the accounting, Ye Mo felt that something was wrong with various expenditures. He had spent a lot of money in the past few months, but he felt that... his account balance was still a bit high.
"How much money is left in the account now?" Lin Xiaomian asked.
"4.83 million yuan." Ye Mo clicked his tongue.
The accounts in the ledger cannot be reconciled, but the receipts and expenditures in bank text messages can be reconciled.
Ye Mo went over to help make dinner.
Lin Xiaomian took Ye Mo's mobile phone and studied it.
There are many kinds of expenses.
Lin Xiaomian roughly calculated that in the past few months...she spent more than 90,000 yuan on online shopping. The biggest expense was two luxury bags on Vip.com, which cost 40,000 yuan.
Many dollars.
Counting from April, the cost of fertilizers is 3.67 million yuan. The most important expenditure is the 3,000 tons of organic fertilizers ordered some time ago, plus some other fertilizers, a total of... 3 million yuan.
The balance on the account is 4.83 million yuan.
The accounts can be reconciled. However, there are a lot of expenditures that cannot be reconciled.
Just like building a house, the frame of the house costs 4.1 million yuan. But the actual expenditure is far more than this price. It cost a lot of money to dig the foundation. Ye Mo occasionally sends a few cartons of cigarettes to the construction workers...
…
Another example is the greenhouse. Construction cannot be completed with the greenhouse keel steel frame.
A budget is a budget. During the actual construction process, the budget is usually overrun, and there is no way around it. Ye Mo is a bit of an obsessive-compulsive person and wants to do the best in everything...
But Ye Mo is not worried about the money now. Da Xigua can still earn a few million, and then all the problems will be solved.
The next expenses are greenhouses, warehouses, and house decoration. Another three million will be more than enough.
